MAGAZINE TOY GUN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 395,798, dated January8, 18189.

Application filed June 4, 1888. Serial No. 276,026. (No model.)

To all whom it may ounce/'71.:

lie it known that I, HENRY REASON, a subject of the Qi'ieen of GreatBritain, residing at llirighton, e unty of Sussex, England, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Magazine Toy Guns andPistols, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to that class of toy guns and pistols used todischarge peas or pellets of various material (hereinafter referred toas shots") by aid of spring appliance.

To enable my invention to be properly un derstood, I will proceed todescribe the same with aid of the accompanying drawingswhich show theinvention applied to a pistol.

Figure 1 is a side elevation; Figs. 2 and 3, sectional views of same atthe instant of being discharged and discharged, respectively. Fig. 4 isa detached view of the opposite side of parts embodied in Figs. 2 and Ais the barrel connected to or formed in one with a suitable stock, andhaving a magazine, 13, attached or formed on top at the breech end. Themagazine may be open at the end 0 for filling in the shots, such openingbeing closed when required by a cover, 0, turning on a pin; or thefilling-hole may be on the top, when it would not require any cover toclose it. In the bottom is a hole, D, communicating with barrel A forthe shots to pass into the barrel. The bottom E of the magazine ispreferred to be made with a double incline to cause the shots to rolltoward the middle when the barrel is held horizontally. The hole D iscovered by an underneath spiral spring, F, to prevent shots enteringthebarrel. (See Fig. 3.) G is a pivoted lever for projecting the shots,operated by a spring, N. .The

top of this lever is formed with a prong, H,

standing sufficientlyfar away from top to admit of a shot lying between.(See Fig. 2.) This prong prevents more than one shot entering the barrelat a time to be discharged, and also the falling out of the shot shouldthe barrel. belowered. The ends of lever and prong work througl'i aslot, A, in the bottom of the barrel A. The lever G is actuated by atrigger, I, by means of a pivoted sear, J, and side projection, L, on G.(See Fig. 4;.) Continuing to press the trigger I toward the stock afterbringing the lever G into the poing in the trigger the sear J pressesback the lever G, the top of which compresses the spring F, which allowsashot to fall into the barrel between the prong H and top of the leverG, as shown in Fig. 2, when it is discharged by continuing to press thetrigger, as has been described. The sear J has its free end J twinedround the lever G to assist the guiding of the sear J.

Having now fully described the nature of my said invention, I declarethat what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the UnitedStates, is-' The combination of the barrel A, connected to a suitablestock, magazine B, placed upon top of the barrel at the breech end andhaving a feeding-inlet for the shots, hole D, communicating with barrelA, spring F, springoperated pivoted lever G, the top being provided witha prong, H, slot A in bottom of barrel, trigger I, sear J, step K,projection L on side of G, and trigger-spring 0, all sub stantially asand for the purposes stated.

HENRY REASON.
